How can it stop the droplets if your mask is down by your chin also how can it stop your droplets at the same time.

Also everytime they put up and down the mask they are touching the mask and there face with there hands which could have touched god knows what in the time between touching it

You said masks are on people’s chins while they’re outside. And there is no need for a mask outside anyway. As long as they pull it up when they enter the store then that’s great

And as for touching the mask, that is the wearer’s issue, not yours. It will still stop droplets from being sneezing or coughed on you in an enclosed space. I really don’t see the problem in what you describe, and I know that I have done the same plenty of times

Almost no risk? No, it's been suggested that there's less risk compared to indoor settings - that's not the same thing as "no risk." And there isn't conclusive data one way or the other.

Prime time just now has expert virologists saying exactly what I said.

In fact one of the sources they quoted is one from a study in China I posted on this board over a months ago

[QUOTE=Just a reminder that there are zero cases of spread in an outdoor environment according to one big study
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....04.20053058v1

Three hundred and eighteen outbreaks with three or more cases were identified, involving 1245 confirmed cases in 120 prefectural cities. We divided the venues in which the outbreaks occurred into six categories: homes, transport, food, entertainment, shopping, and miscellaneous. Among the identified outbreaks, 53.8% involved three cases, 26.4% involved four cases, and only 1.6% involved ten or more cases. Home outbreaks were the dominant category (254 of 318 outbreaks; 79.9%), followed by transport (108; 34.0%; note that many outbreaks involved more than one venue category). Most home outbreaks involved three to five cases. We identified only a single outbreak in an outdoor environment, which involved two cases.

The insistence on blaming people going outside is just a tactic to cover up government failure in controlling spread in places they should have been controlling.[/QUOTE]

Robert Dingwall, professor of Sociology in Nottingham University on Prime time just now saying that 'The risk of spread of Covid 19 in outdoors environment is close to Zero.

Was just watching that, he fairly dismissed what De Gascun had said just before him.

So 40% of cases today are still community transfer.
Did I hear that right?

My understanding of the stats are... 40% of all, from the start are community. This used to be 60%?

According to De Gascun it can stay in the air for a couple of hours if an infected person sheds doplets. What a load of shíte.

That means that the test took place in a testing center, not community transmission.

In an an indoor environment with no airflow.
It's not applicable to an outdoor environment at all.

The whole policy of keeping people indoors is proving to have been a complete farce. But any person with a modicum of common sense could have told you that in the first place.
Thankfully the science is now backing up the common sense.

Yes, virtually all of the cases in the last 2 weeks are from Meat plants, Hospitals and care homes/asylum homes etc.

I wish one of our useless journalists would ask this question and push the point.

Dingwall quickly told him he was pretty wrong. He said De Gascun was inferring that air didn't move

Did he not specifically say “from the figures today”
If so that’s not very encouraging.
I hope I misheard.

He does talk some ****e. Keeps going on about how the risk of covid spreading outside is not zero. The risk of being hit by lightning is not zero.

Why is he pushing keeping the restrictions in outdoor activities? it’s obviously not for health reasons. What’s he getting out of it?

This has been explained multiple times.


Community transmission =/= tranmission of the virus in the community.


Community transmission = an infected person who does not know where they got infected, they cannot be tracked.


Transmission in the community = any infection that occurs outside of hospitals, long term residential settings etc.


The percentage referenced refers to transmission in the community, as it has been said many many times, transmission in the community has been 'extinguished'.

Nope, he always starts with the figures from today and then starts to talk of overall stats from the start.
That's why people are always asking for them to tell us where and how the deaths and infections are coming from each day.

It can be worked out by studying in detail the stats of the HSE each day (see the posts of Shineon07 in the mathematics thread) and comparing to the previous day.

In the last 2 or 3 weeks there have been close to no infections in normal everyday setting an deaths have been almost exclusively confined to care homes (in some cases counting deaths from months ago).

Where does it say community transmission has been extinguished?
Can you give me a link to the HSE or other official department source that stated this?

Community transmission is 'very, very low' says the chief medical officer.

https://www.thejournal.ie/tony-holohan-community-transmission-5102798-May2020/

In broad terms, we have effectively extinguished it from the community in general, right across the country. Much of the caseload that is now being reported is seen in the context of particular settings.

I haven’t been on this forum for a while so no need for the tone thanks.

So basically the 40% that he referenced from today’s stats have occurred outside hospitals and long term residential settings etc but they do know where they got the virus correct?

He said community transfer. Transfer is a synonym for transmission. The statement was false.

Thank you for the informative post and balanced tone.

I wish they’d make the stats a bit more digestible without having to delve into them so much.

He asked whether this was correct. It is not. 40% of the cases were from tests conducted in the community, not from community transfer.

ACitizenErased

Just to back up the stat given on the telly, only half of tests are actually happening outside hospitals, so the figures sort of line up.

Didn't mean to come across as aggressive, apologies. You are correct with the first part yes, but it is possible that there may be the odd few that are untrackable.
